疟疾无症状带虫者检测方法

Methods of Detecting Asymptomatic Plasmodium Parasites Carriers

在消除疟疾阶段,无症状带虫者作为传染源的意义更为重要而备受专注,然而因其没有疟疾相关临床症状,且外周血中疟原虫密度往往较低,常规显微镜检查和快速诊断试剂难以检测。本文对目前无症状带虫者检测方法及其研究进展进行综述。

More attention has increasingly been given to asymptomatic carriers of plasmodium parasites as a source of infection in malaria elimination settings. However, asymptomatic infections can hardly be detected by microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests （RDTs） because of no symptoms and low parasitemia. This review summarizes the evolution of methods or tests which are currently used in the field.
